Abstract: "A headless man with only one leg stands with his instep supported on the point of a cone which rests on a rectangular pedestal inscribed 'High Stations are painful'. A peg supplies the place of a head. His hands are behind his back under his coat-tails, through which projects the riding-whip which he is holding. He wears a spurred top-boot."--British Museum online catalogue
